Damage in Colombia

[edit]

I found a source that may have impacts in Colombia associated with Rafael. The dates add up and the Central American Gyre is not mentioned at all. The region would also make sense. I was hesitant to add it though, so I want to see what others think. Here's the link: Santa Marta in emergency due to rains: avalanche flooded part of the city, buried vehicles and left several people injured - Infobae Shmego(talk) 17:40, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Santa Marta seems quite far away from Panama so I am not too sure. ✶Quxyz 00:24, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, it says Rafael impacted Columbia, tho Joseph Ca98 (talk) 00:34, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The storm may have had minimal ipacts in Columbia Rizzler97628 (talk) 00:39, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The seasonal article is not the authority of listing impacts. ✶Quxyz 01:16, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I was thinking, but the storm also impacted Jamaica rather early. I think we should add it for now. Pinging @Drdpw for his opinion. Shmego2 (talk) 00:42, 6 November 2024 (UTC) (Shmego's alt)[reply]
I will defer to others, it may be precursor-Rafael, or may be the local media assuming it to be, don’t know. Drdpw (talk) 01:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article doesn't directly state that it was Rafael, though. It attributes it to downpours in the short term and deforestation in the long term. ✶Quxyz 01:35, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we could include it. Quxyz, the article would not mention that it was Rafael because Rafael has not formed then. It would have been its precursor which also affected Panama. Shmego2 (talk) 01:43, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I am ok with it. Something just feels unsatisfying. My biggest concern is mostly violating WP:OR but in the short term, I'll allow it to be added. ✶Quxyz 01:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I agree, but I think we may need a couple more hours until we start rapidly updating the article. We could get Columbia's impact down, and then wait for the next intensification. I do want @Hurricanehink's opinion though. Joseph Ca98 (talk) 00:48, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 6 November 2024

[edit]

Hurricane Rafael (2024)Hurricane Rafael – This Rafael has already quintupled (septupled with missings) the deaths attributed to 2012 and is likely to trump it in damages too after it landfalls in Cuba and the United States. ✶Quxyz 01:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - per nom Shmego2 (talk) 01:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extremely Strong Support - yeah, don't think I need to explain as it is already self-explanatory with the death toll as of 0200 utc 11/6 Iseriously (talk) 01:58, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - per nom, deaths not high. Ampil (ΤαικCοnτribυτιοns) 02:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wait until Rafael impacts Cuba. Those deaths are due to the precursor disturbance, not Rafael itself. Tavantius (talk) 02:16, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By tomorrow afternoon, Rafael would have made landfall in Cuba. I doubt that this discussion will close before then. ✶Quxyz 02:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support It just strengthened to a Category 1 Hurricane, it seems good now to rename it Hurricane Rafael. Deuxde (talk) 02:35, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
